two buses leave columbus ohio at the same time and travel in opposite directions on bus averages 55 miles er hours and the other averages 48 miles per hour when will they be 618 miles apart
-------
They are separating at a rate of 55+48 = 103 mph

Equation:
time = distance/rate
----
time = 618/103 = 6 hrs
